I got inspired because I was reading The Vitamin D Solution, and in the middle of talking about how Vitamin D can help SAD, the author takes a detour into how effective light therapy is for SAD and even regular depression and bipolar.

OP, these can get really expensive, but the one I’ve used for the past few years works well IMO and pretty affordable, here’s the link if you’re interested: https://www.amazon.com/Verilux-HappyLight-Compact-Personal-Portable/dp/B00K08ZDBI\r\n\r\nI got mine because I have what my sleep doctor called “idiopathic hypersomnia” which literally just means I sleep too much and they couldn’t figure out why, even after a sleep study. Not sure if it’s connected to my ADHD or not. It gets way worse during the winter when hours of sunlight are so limited. Instructions for happy lights are funny because they treat it a bit like caffeine- you’re supposed to turn it off before you feel jittery/over-stimulated. It gives me a really good calm energy when I use in the morning for like 30-45 mins on days when I’m not otherwise getting sun.\r\n\r\nI’ve also generally found that cardio exercise generally makes my brain work better and lowers my anxiety. I know this isn’t an option for everyone, but I got a Peloton during the pandemic- good option for people who can’t or don’t want to do group classes or drive to a gym. I think it’s a shared sentiment in this group that the less barriers there are to engaging in healthy activity, the more likely we are to do it. Some days all I can manage is thumbing around on my phone while I do a 45-minute class, but I’m still sweating and releasing endorphins, and I feel so much better after.","subreddit_name":"ADHD","author":"Hiro_Pr0tagonist_"},{"body":"\r\nIf you want more light because of your mood, they have special light bulbs now that treat for Seasonal Affective Disorder.

It's definitely BRIGHT. The important thing is that you have to be somewhat facing the light (you can't have it beaming on your back, for example). I usually set it on the side of the my desk so I see it in my peripheral vision, but you should only have it on from 10-15 mins at a time (if you can handle that much).\r\n\r\nAs for effectiveness, I'd say it works overall. I find I have more energy and it helps me wake up in the morning/afternoon slumps, for sure. As for benefits to mood, it's hit or miss. I've always been on medication and gone to therapy while using SAD lights, so hard to say whether mood improvements are attributed to those, or the light. But I like the small boost I have in energy at least, so I'd say it works.","subreddit_name":"CanadaPublicServants","author":"OnePointFiveYears"},{"body":"I bought this one on amazon and keep it on my wfh desk.
